4.3.1.Object reference conversion
4.3.2.An interface type can be converted to an interface type or to Object.
4.3.3.Convert interface to super-interface
4.3.4.Object Method-Call Conversion
4.3.5.Cast between an interface and a nonfinal object.
4.3.6.Runtime casting: the class being converted must be itself or must inherit from it.
4.3.7.If New type is an interface, the class of the expression being converted must implement New type.
4.3.8.For = with object references, if the type of the left operand is a class C, then the type of the right operand must be a subclass of C or the null value.
4.3.9.If the type of the left operand is an interface I, the type of the right operand must be a subinterface of I, or a class that implements I, or the null value.
